Metacognitive Skills

Metacognitive skills are the ability to reflect on and regulate your own thinking processes. They involve being aware of how you learn, understand, or solve problems, and then using that awareness to plan, monitor, and adjust your approach for better outcomes. Essentially, it's thinking about your thinking—recognizing when you need to change strategies or seek help to improve understanding or performance. These skills help you become a more effective learner and problem-solver by enabling self-awareness and intentional control over your mental activities.
